PSN Summer Blast sale features scorching deals

Microsoft may have just made 4-year old Defense Gridfree for Xbox 360 owners, but Sony is doing its best to keep up. Coincidentally, it's time for Sony's annual summer sale, during which you can expect up to 60% off select titles; PlayStation Plus members can expect up to 80% off.

The sale is separated into two week batches. The first batch of deals can be downloaded tomorrow after the PSN's regularly scheduled Tuesday updates. The second batch comes next week. Peep the full list after the break.

Seriously though, some of these prices are so crazy I'm not sure there isn't a fox named Redd working at Sony. $5 for Batman: Arkham Asylum? $5 for Shadow of the Colossus? About $8 for the Prince of Persia and Ratchet and Clank HD trilogies, respectively? Good stuff. What are you eyeing?

Disclosure-bot: Just in case the editor neglected to mention it, we have zero control when deals start and end. Deals can sometimes be gone within minutes (please don't shoot the messenger). Trying deal links even hours after this article's time stamp may lead to self-punching, so maybe bookmark our video game deals if you're on the hunt. Also, it goes without saying, but some shopping links do directly support the author. If you've spotted any inaccuracy please let us know asap.
